- Data Quality Information
- Logical Consistency Report
- No duplicate features are present. The shapefile is exported using Avenue request ExportClean. This request verifies and enforces the correctness of shapes.
- Completeness Report
- After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials.
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
- The geospatial part of this data set was derived from the TIGER database with a positional accuracy of +/- 80 meters, and then generalized (tolerance unknown). Generalization reduced the positional accuracy and is unknown.
